AN IDEA BROUGHT TO LIFE
Culture meets
creative technology.
An expo. A meeting of minds.
A new space for culture.
I initiated BudayaVerse to explore how technology can open new possibilities for culture. Organised through CRESDO, it brings cultural practitioners, creators, institutions and technology leaders together through exhibitions, conversations and creative experimentation.
The 2025 expo in Putrajaya connected heritage with AI, XR and immersive media through SinergiBudaya exhibitions, AI × Culture Design competitions and the AI × Synergy Talk series. It was presented in partnership with Perbadanan Putrajaya, with support from the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC).
